Christian churches across the world celebrate Easter in diverse ways, and the Spokane regional churches are no different.

If resurrection did not and does not mean physically/bodily rising from the dead, what could Paul, the Gospel writers, and the early Church have meant by that word? And what does it mean for us today?

propose that within the constellation of Easter stories, the primary event, the event that changed everything, was the crucifixion, not the commonly understood resurrection.

Is it possible to claim a story is true while at the same time claim it didn’t actually happen? For me, the answer is yes. The Easter story I focus on here is the resurrection.

The grief that lingers in the midst of the miracle - the lost time that not even God can bring back, the scars of what we have been through some still fresh enough to bleed.

The resurrection of Christ is central to orthodox Christianity. It is therefore unfortunate for me that I sort of don’t believe it happened, me being a Christian and all.

One of the reasons most Christians find it hard to believe that I am a Christian myself is because I do not affirm the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ.
